Lost village
Vismeistri
The Tallinn district of Vismeistri takes its name from a medieval job. From at least 1515, the village here was home to the fish master, the Fischmeister, of Toompea castle, who organised fishing on Lake Harku, Tiskre brook and the sea for the Livonian Order and made sure the commander had enough fish for the fasts. Later the Fischmeister summer manor stood on Tiskre brook, and in the 18th century the governor of Estonia, Duke Peter August Friedrich of Holstein-Beck, kept a deer park beside it, remembered in the meadow name Hirveaia. The village joined Tallinn in 1975.

Eesti keeles
Tallinna Vismeistri asum on saanud nime keskaegse ameti järgi. Vähemalt 1515. aastast elas siinses külas Toompea linnuse kalameister (saksa keeles Fischmeister), kes korraldas Liivimaa ordule kalapüüki Harku järvel, Tiskre ojal ja merel ning hoolitses, et komtuuril oleks paastuajaks kala. Hiljem asus Tiskre oja kaldal Fischmeistri suvemõis ja 18. sajandil pidas Eestimaa kuberner hertsog Peter August Friedrich von Holstein-Beck selle kõrval hirveaeda, mida meenutab Hirveaia heinamaa nimi. Küla liideti Tallinnaga 1975. aastal.
